[quote=Anonymous]A similar situation happened to me. I had a friend I grew up with that was a total queen bee. We were in the same group, went through a lot together, etc but she totally treated me as a second rate friend and LOVED to make snide remarks about me to my face and cleverly bring me down as a way of making herself feel better. I was pretty insecure and let it happen.

Anyways, we went off to different colleges (and the distance tamed the issues) and all seemed fine until the summer after our freshman year of college, while at a bar at the beach, she attempted to make a pass at/get together with my then-boyfriend. I was finally done and cut her out of my life.

20+ years later, she reached out to me on Facebook. She was profusely remorseful, said she missed our friendship, wanted to reconnect, etc. I'm sure there's a chance she changed, but I wasn't really interested in rekindling that friendship so I left a quick message saying that I hoped she was doing well and left it at that. I think we're still friends on Facebook. That's it, though.

It doesn't sound like your friendship ended quite as badly. And she may have matured and grown up in those 10 years. It can't hurt to respond and have a quick catchup conversation to see how her life is going. Just don't be afraid to cut things off if you feel you're being demeaned again. [/quote]
